This Boy

This boy wants to play, there's no time left today It's a shame cause he has to go home This boy's got to work, got to sweat just to pay what he gets to get left all alone But let's step outside, let's go for a ride just for awhile No we won't get caught, well that's what I thought until we cried I'm still here, but it hasn't been easy I'm sure that you had your reasons I'm scared if all this in motion For years I've been holding you down For years I've been holding you down This girl tries her best everyday, but it's all gone to waste cause there's no one around This girl she can draw, she can paint Likes to dance, she can skate, now she don't make a sound We'll play in the park, dinner's too dark for us to see Well we'll make our way home, with mud on our clothes, she won't be pleased I'm still here, but it hasn't been easy I'm sure that you had your reasons I'm scared if all this in motion For years I've been holding you down And I'd love to forgive and forget So I tried to put all this behind us Just know that my arms are wide open The older I get the more that I know Well it's time to let this go I got to let it go, I got to let it go I got to let it go, I got to let it go I'm still here, but it hasn't been easy I'm sure that you had your reasons I'm scared if all this in motion For years I've been holding you down And I'd love to forgive and forget So I tried to put all this behind us Just know that my arms are wide open The older I get the more that I know And I'd love to forgive and forget So I tried to put all this behind us Just know that my arms are wide open The older I get the more that I know Well it's time to let this go
